I'm looking forward to this! Hopefully they add multitasking but not OTT multitasking. If they can manage some better battery performance too I'd be quite happy 
However, when I upgraded my old 1st gen iPhone to OS3 it became so so slow. I hope my 3GS doesn't suffer that same fate when going up to OS4....

Yes I use iRealQuickSMS on my Jailbroken phone and it is by far the most useful app I have. I almost forgot about the "old" way of doing it. I don't think I could ever go back.

Its a habit to reply on the lockscreen now. That's why I wont update...and SBSettings. I jailbreak SOLELY for SBSettings.
EDIT:
No, people know what a new phone means. Just for a few weeks after the OS 4.0 announcement (if it is next week). We all know people will go "omg i wuz jailbroken and i updated. now i want to unlock my phone? what kan i do?"
OS 4.0 won't be released next week. Look at how 3.0 was introduced and then released:
March 17, 2009: Preview of iPhone OS version 3.0 and SDK 3.0 beta release.
A bunch of betas were released in between, until:
June 17, 2009: Final release for iPhone OS version 3.0 for standard users released.

Well im not saying its going to be, its rumored, obviously. However, people will ask (I saw one today) "Can I upgrade to 4.0?"
Im just hoping to stop people from making the wrong decision.
Multi-tasking? Not a priority for me. I shudder at the nightmare of some sort of kludged 'multi-tasking' system akin to some in Apple's past. Remember the 'cooperative multitasking' in early versions of the Mac OS? Yuck. And I don't fancy any feature that drains my phone's battery.
I would like to see my to-do list synchronized with iCal. I'd like to see profiles. I'd like to change the godawful font in Apple's Notes app. I'd like Apple's Calculator app to include scientific, financial, statistical and programming modes with graphing rather than looking like a copy of a Texas Instruments museum piece. In fact, I would like to see Apple providing commonsense improvements rather than a whole new OS (which of course will cost us all money when app developers make us pay for updates.).

I reckon the multitask option will be put in but in very limited form... I do agree with you with the whole battery drain thing though...
That would be a bonus, please let that be true.
its called jailbreak litterally taking maybe 20 seconds, then multifl0w.. boom
That is because you assume the apps will run in the background the same as they do in the foreground. There have been lots of advancements in this area. Most likely, the app will operate in a reduced memory mode that would have little affect on battery use. The OS can be optimized to allow apps to have two modes (active and background modes). The background mode wouldn't have a UI (or a very minimal one) and would have access to less of the system resources.
Um, thanks?
You will have a place in heaven between god and Steve Jobs.
Thats ALL I WANT

You have a scientific calculator already, just rotate it to landscape.
Would you please not do it in allcaps? I don't need to be shouted at by your signature every time I look at a thread.
I would love for 
to add something similar to the quickreply app on cydia, that would f*ckin awesome!

Don't even bother anyone who is mixing the two up at this point is never going to learn.
